HP StorageWorks X1000 G2 is noisy, fans are running at high speed

[magicpeter]

Dear All,

any solution to this topic? Just received 2 pcs X1400 G2 (base DL320). Fans are running full rpm.

I'm so glad the server  room is on a different floor.....

Anybody experiencing the same problem, please post here. Perhaps the amount of posts will result in action at HP.

Regards, Peter HAM/DE

Dear All,

I have found a solution that works for me. No, I didin't place the X1400 in another building, it's easier....
If possible add the second RPS and the fans calm down.
Unfortunatley not all DL320 based models support 2 RPSs, but perhaps these models are not affected anyway? Please leave a reply and enlighten me and the others.
Regards from HAM/DE, Peter

I just purchased the head unit from the set X1800 (DL380 G7). I can't stand these screaming fans! I never heard another server run this loud. Only one CPU is populated so the extra fans are not present. I can only imagine what this thing would sound like if the extra fans were present.

Please help as I will need a hearing aid soon!

Note: my server has the second RPS populated.

I still have the problem I had since I first posted.

Today I thought i would check back and see if it was driving anyone else mental which it is!

I have 2 PSU's so the Redundant Power Supply (RDS) hole is filled and its been like it since day 1

I even reseated both PSU's and no difference at all

Come on HP help us out please?!
